Antique has nothing to do with how something was made. If it's more than

100
years old, it is considered antique. There are a few antique people still
running (walking?) around.


That depends ... Your definition generally applies to North America where it
may have some legal basis for customs and import duties. In Europe, England
and other countries an item may have to be much older to qualify as
"antique".
